KANYE WEST DROPS OUT OF 2020 PRESIDENTIAL RACE – (07/15/2020)
It is being reported that Kanye West has dropped out of the 2020 presidential race. According to Intelligencer, multiple campaign professionals have claimed that Kanye started the process of having his name included on the ballots for Florida and other states as a third-party candidate, in opposition to Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
A source said that they had been contacted by Kanye’s team about going to Florida to get the necessary signatures to that he could make it on the state’s ballot by the July 15th deadline. In order to meet the ballot requirements, 132,781 Florida voters would have to sign the petition in less than a week.
Since Kanye entered the presidential race late in the game, his name is unable to appear on many state ballots. This will make it difficult for him to earn enough votes to be elected.
Steve Kramer, a “get out the vote” specialist who was hired by Kanye’s team to help out in Florida, confirmed that Kanye was “out” of the race.
KANYE WEST WAS ALLEGEDLY PULLING 2% OF VOTES IN PRESIDENTIAL POLL
Prior to it being reported that Ye dropped out of the race, a consulting firm that does polling and market reasearch has found that the music and fashion icon allegedly only pulled 2% of votes in the presidential poll. According to TMZ, Redfield & Wilton Strategies released results from a poll it did last week and Kanye only clocked in at 2% out of 2,000 people polled.
Meanwhile, third party candidates from the Libertarian and Green Parties aren’t polling much higher than Kanye — both also hit the 2% and 1% each, respectively.
The poll also showed that Kanye getting into the race actually hurt Donald Trump. Trump went from 40% to 39% with Kanye in the race and Biden is at the lead with 48%.
MAROON 5’S MICKEY MADDEN TAKING LEAVE OF ABSENCE FROM BAND; NEW TOUR DATES REVEALED – (07/15/2020)
Maroon 5 has announced their brand new 2021 tour dates after postponing their 2020 tour due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
The band released the dates, cities, and venues they plan on hitting up next summer. The trek, which was supposed to kick off in May, was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and will now launch July 15, 2021 in Chula Vista, California. The 41-date run will wrap October 2nd in Los Angeles.
Leon Bridges and Meghan Trainor were set to open for Maroon 5 on their tour this year, though it’s unclear at the moment if they’re still scheduled to provide support next year.
It was also revealed that Maroon 5 member Mickey Madden has decided to take a leave of absence from the band after he was arrested for a domestic violence allegation.
“I have some things that I need to deal with and address right now and so I have decided to take a leave of absence from Maroon 5 for the foreseeable future,” he told said in a statement. “During this time, I do not want to be a distraction to my bandmates. I wish them the absolute best.”
Madden was arrested on a felony charge in Los Angeles last month and was released on $50,000 bond. It’s unclear if Madden’s leave of absence is temporary or permanent.
Maroon 5 released their most recent studio album, Red Pill Blues, in 2017.

VIACOM ENDS RELATIONSHIP WITH NICK CANNON OVER ‘ANTI-SEMITIC’ COMMENTS – (07/15/2020)
ViacomCBS has ended its decades long relationship with Nick Cannon after he made comments deemed anti-Semitic on his “Cannon’s Class” podcast. According to TMZ, the company said in a statement, “While we support ongoing education and dialogue in the fight against bigotry, we are deeply troubled that Nick has failed to acknowledge or apologize for perpetuating anti-Semitism, and we are terminating our relationship with him.”
The statement continued, “We are committed to doing better in our response to incidents of anti-Semitism, racism, and bigotry. ViacomCBS will have further announcements on our efforts to combat hate of all kinds.”
During the June 30th episode, Cannon interviewed Professor Griff of the iconic rap group Public Enemy. Weeks later, Nick started trending after a clip of him referring to white and Jewish people as “the true savages” started circulating on social media. He was discussing the power White and Jewish people have and the ways they’ve treated “melanated” people.
He explained, “Our melanin is so power[ful] and it connects us in a way that the reason why [White people] fear us is because of the lack that they have of it. When you have a person that has the lack of pigment, the lack of melanin, they know that they will be annihilated. So, therefore, however they got the power, they have the lack of compassion. Melanin comes with compassion, melanin comes with soul.”
He continued, “The people that don’t have [melanin] are a little less… They may not have the compassion when they were sent to the mountains of Caucasus when they didn’t have the power of the Sun. The Sun then started to deteriorate them so then, they’re acting out of fear, they’re acting out of low self-esteem, they’re acting out of a deficiency. So, therefore, the only way that they can act is evil. They have to rob, steal, rape, kill in order to survive. So then, these people that didn’t have what we have—and when I say we, I speak of the melanated people—they had to be savages.”
NICK CLARIFIES HIS STATEMENT
After receiving mixed reactions to his comments, Cannon released a statement via his Facebook page, saying that he condemns hate speech. He said, “Anyone who knows me knows that I have no hate in my heart nor malice intentions. I do not condone hate speech nor the spread of hateful rhetoric. We are living in a time when it is more important than ever to promote unity and understanding. The Black and Jewish communities have both faced enormous hatred, oppression persecution and prejudice for thousands of years and in many ways have and will continue to work together to overcome these obstacles.”
When some challenged him, saying that he didn’t apologize, he told Fast Company that apologies are empty and discussions and healing are needed. He said, “Are you forcing me to say the words ‘I’m sorry’? Are you making me bow down, ’cause then again, that would be perpetuating that same rhetoric that we’re trying to get away from. What we need is healing. What we need is discussion. Correct me. I don’t tell my children to say, ‘I’m sorry.’ I want them to understand where they need to be corrected. And then that’s how we grow.”

NEW CLUE MAY HAVE LED TO NAYA RIVERA’S BODY – (07/14/2020)
UPDATE: A body found Monday in southern California’s Lake Piru is Glee actor Naya Rivera, Ventura County Sheriff’s officials confirmed.
A new clue turned up in the search for Glee star Naya Rivera over the weekend that may have helped the investigation. The 33-year-old disappeared after taking her 4-year-old son Josey on a boating trip in Lake Piru in California. On Monday, searchers reportedly recovered her body.
Robert Inglis of the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue Team told Us Weekly that Rivera sent a photo of them to a relative shortly before she vanished. Josey was found on the lake 90 minutes to two hours after the photo was taken near a cove. He was alone on the boat and told authorities that he and his mom had gone swimming together, but that she never made it back to the boat. (She shares Josey with her ex Ryan Dorsey).
Search crews combed the area around the cove. “We did send our dive members to those two locations and searched those extensively,” he told the outlet.
He added that in many cases, there are witnesses “who see someone jumping off a boat so we know which area to search and we can find the body more quickly.”
There were no witnesses in this case. He added: “In this case, it really could be the whole lake. There are a lot of coves that have to be searched.”
DIVING EXPERT
Meanwhile, Inglis, also a diving expert, told Us Weekly what he believes happened: “The best thing that we can say that contributes to a lot of the drownings is when people go swimming and they are not wearing their life vests. And they jumped off the boat. It doesn’t take much to get exhausted if you’re not in shape. Winds do kick up at that lake, and the boats start to get away and you are trying to go after that boat … you could get a leg cramp. If you are wearing a life vest, you could rest and someone can go back and pick you up, or call for help or something like that.”
He added that “people are muscular” have a harder time floating. “They struggle because they are sinking. They can’t float. So depending on the body tone of a person, you could get that feeling that you are being sucked down because you really just can’t float.“
“If you’re not familiar with the boat and getting on and off the boat, you can get tired just climbing onto the boat. You can fall back in, people hit their heads, things like that,” he told Us. “There are some cases in lakes where one person is in the water, starts to drown, then someone else jumps in to try to save the other person. The person drowning is saved and gets back on the boat, but the other person who jumped in to save them didn’t make it back into the boat.”
At least eight people have drowned in the lake, the most recent being 2008.
In Rivera’s 2016 Sorry Not Sorry, she called Josey her “greatest” success.

AUTHORITIES REVEAL UNDERWATER FOOTAGE FROM NAYA RIVERA SEARCH, FAMILY VISITS LAKE – (07/13/2020)
The search for Glee star Naya Rivera at Lake Piru in California continued over the weekend. She disappeared on Thursday during a boating trip with her 4-year-old son Josey. He was found napping on the boat, and is doing fine.
The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office released video footage from their deployment of a remotely operated vehicle 30 feet under the lake’s surface. The ROV was sent down to investigate a dark shape, but it turned out to be a tree branch.
TMZ reports that authorities are also planning to search the cabins around the lake to dispel theories that Rivera made her way to one.
RECOVERING RIVERA
Ventura County Sheriff’s Office Captain Eric Buschow said the situation is “difficult” because “we don’t know if she’s going to be found five minutes from now or five days from now.”
Buschow is confident that Rivera’s body will be found. Rivera shared Josey with her ex-husband Ryan Dorsey. He reportedly told authorities that they went swimming together in the lake, but that she never jumped back into the boat.
A spokesperson, Sergeant Kevin Donoghue, didn’t sound as sure as Buschow at an earlier press conference. “In this particular lake, in that area, there’s a lot of trees and plants and such that are under the water that can cause entanglements. It makes it unsafe for the divers and it makes it a more complicated search,” Donoghue explained. “If the body is entangled in something beneath the water, it may never come back up. We don’t know.”
An eyewitness told ET of seeing Rivera and Josey set off: “It was a beautiful day. It was comfortable weather and there were other pontoon boats in the water and even a water skier. She looked like any other mother with her son going out to enjoy the day.”
While Josey was wearing a life vest, Rivera was not.
FAMILY VISIT
Amid the search, Rivera’s family members visited Lake Piru on Saturday, a spokesperson for the Sheriff’s Office tells ET. The lake is about 1,200 acres in size, with depths of 130 feet.
Her father George, mother Yolanda and brother Mychal reportedly broke down in tears at the lake, with Yolanda falling to her knees with her arms stretched toward the water, TMZ reports.
Dorsey also visited the lake, and waded in the waters fully clothed with her father. The pair were seen embracing. Dorsey and Rivera divorced in 2018 after four years of marriage.

They warned, “We don’t want to have to rescue you,” adding that the temperature was in the 90s and that the terrain around the lake was “very steep and rugged.” (Page Six)
